London the RA and the weather



Today I met Ruth at the RA and we pottered round the Summer Exhibition. some very good work from Melvyn Evans who sold about 40 prints and Barbara Sykes whose wonderful drawing won the Hugh Casson price for drawing. And then there was David Tyndall  and my favourite Barbara Rae, fabulous prints and two stunning paintings.



After that we went to a wonderful  vegetarian restaurant the food was just fab, Tibits Restaurant go and eat there, you fill your plate and pay for what you put on your plate, yummy ! But thunder and lightening and lots of rain made us run to the bus, just missing the worst.


After a while the weather was sunny again, this is from the RV1 bus stop, the London Eye and some sort of whirley gig.


We went to Intaglio Printmakers, the most fabulous shop for printmakers, I bought some paper for the next litho class, the then we yet again ran to the little Union Street cafe and sat nice and dry through the next downpour the temperature dropped and it was wonderful cool and clean.








Then home on the train where I looked at my new Garden Theft prints, a very good day !
